Overview

Sunny skies shine brightly over lush stretches of vineyards, cool crisp air flows through fields, and the beauty of the Renaissance era is brought to life once more - all in Montalcino, Italy's Castello di Velona. Nestled in the hills of Siena, in Tuscany's picturesque d'Orcia Valley, this stunning 11th-century castle has been fully restored and today offers a fairytale luxury European escape. Immerse yourself in serenity in either the traditional castle rooms or the new spa-style rooms, relaxing in complete comfort and enjoying sweeping views of Tuscany. The classically styled Castello Rooms are charming and full of life, with antique furnishings, and ornate style reminiscent of Italy's artistic history. Conversely, opt to embrace sleek modernity in the Spa Rooms, outfitted in warm whites and cream tones, boasting an elegant simplicity with plush linens and indulgent soaking tubs that flow with natural mineral spring water.

Ideal Day

Stroll through the town of Montalcino, whose center is less than eight miles away, taking in the sights, and creating your very own wine tasting adventure. Home to the world renowned Brunello red, the town is perfect for an afternoon spent relaxing in the peaceful atmosphere while sipping wine with cheese and bread. Hike through the gorgeous countryside, through vineyards, and down country paths that are still lined with stones placed by Romans some 2,000 years ago. Following an afternoon of exploring, return to the hotel and pamper yourself at the blissful spa, created from the naturally occurring mineral hot springs discovered right on site. Two outdoor and two indoor pools complement treatments ranging from facials to body massages, scrubs and more - all using the finest naturally based products. With mind and body at ease, sit down to dine on traditional Tuscan cuisine at Taverna al Vignone, which features rustic regional specialities, or select from the modern gourmet menu of Abbazia, where you can enjoy a splendid view alongside your dinner. Pair your meal with the perfect wine, and let yourself be swept away by the beauty of the Tuscan countryside and of Castello di Velona.
